Message from the Developer:

I would like to give a huge "THANK YOU!" to everyone who has voiced their suggestions, insights, encouragements, and kind words in the comments below. You have contributed in a big way to how this mod has grown and evolved for the better – way beyond what this mod was originally written for and what I could have imagined this mod would become.

---

Note: Credit and many thanks goes to q3.railgun for beta/client-side testing and sparking my inspiration to create this mod after sensing their exasperation with finding rot everywhere in our base.

My bet is that we are not the only ones with this problem, so my hope is that this simple, close-to-vanilla tweak can help make everyone's Don't Starve Together experience that much better.

Thank you for stopping by!
